Chapter 86: If You Just Stand There, Isnât He Yours Already?
“If you just stand there, isn’t he yours already?”
Ye Ran didn’t understand for a moment. “What do you mean? If I just stand there, he’ll stick to me?”
Chi Youchu deflated. He finally understood what it meant for the person involved to be confused.
Previously, Chi Youchu had never been able to figure it out. In terms of blood relation, he and Chi Yuheng were cousins, while Ye Ran was someone Chi Yuheng picked up and raised.
In terms of time, he had been by Chi Yuheng’s side almost since childhood. Although Ye Ran had also come when he was young, he hadn’t been in the Chi family as long as Chi Youchu.
No matter how you put it, he should be closer to his brother, but he always felt that Chi Yuheng seemed to have more partiality for Ye Ran.
As time went by, it became more and more obvious.
It wasn’t until the game on the island and the subsequent events that Chi Youchu finally realized that his brother hadn’t treated Ye Ran as a brother at allâhe had picked him up to raise him as a wife.
Only Ye Ran was still so silly that he couldn’t see it.
Based on Chi Youchu’s understanding of these two, it wouldn’t be surprising if Ye Ran just stood there and hooked his finger, and his brother would obediently go over, completely submissive.
From his perspective, the two could skip the process and directly register their marriage.
The romance duration: Chi Yuheng’s unilateral love for over ten years; romance intent: mutual willingness; character understanding: known each other since childhood, knowing each other’s roots and bottom.
All of this was laid out, yet Ye Ran told him he wanted to pursue Chi Yuheng.
Fine, Chi Youchu could only understand this as a bit of flirtatious fun between the couple.
Chi Youchu crossed his arms and tilted his chin toward Ye Ran. “You said you’re pursuing him. How are you pursuing him? Tell me.”
Ye Ran: “Does not making him angry count?”
“Not making him…” Chi Youchu felt like rolling his eyes hearing this. “You’re really great.”
Ye Ran: “Thank you for the compliment.”
Xu Huiyang watched from the side; these two were truly a case of one daring to speak and the other daring to accept.
With a mischievous smile, Chi Youchu continued to gossip, “How did my brother agree to let you pursue him?”
Ye Ran’s tone was indifferent. “He promised me three things. The second one was that I wanted him to agree to let me pursue him.”
Chi Youchu took a deep breath. “You used such a good opportunity to do such a useless thing!”
“Why didn’t you just make him agree to be with you?”
This wasn’t something Ye Ran hadn’t thought about, but he didn’t plan to use this to demand Chi Yuheng.
If it was pursuing, Chi Yuheng could still consider whether he wanted to be together in the end.
He didn’t want their being together to be something he forced.
After Ye Ran explained, Chi Youchu was once again convinced by him.
The three had talked for half a day and almost reached the classroom, yet they hadn’t discussed anything practical.
After all, Chi Youchu wasn’t a student at Peking University. He only came today because he was bored staying at the Xu family’s house. Now that Ye Ran and the others had to go to class, he left first to browse the nearby home furnishing market.
Before the three parted, the consistent conclusion they reached was that Ye Ran could first cultivate a common hobby with Chi Yuheng.
Speaking of Chi Yuheng’s hobbies, Ye Ran was completely clueless.
Chi Yuheng’s life almost every day consisted of eating, sleeping, and workingâworking at the company, and continuing to work at home. Occasionally, he would go on business trips and take Ye Ran out for a bit, but other than that, he didn’t know Chi Yuheng had any other hobbies.
It couldn’t be that this man’s hobby was just working, right?
Ye Ran didn’t know Chi Yuheng’s hobbies, so he could only let Chi Yuheng cultivate the same hobbies as him.
Ye Ran’s hobbies were very simple: playing games, going to bars, and occasionally reading novels.
Going to bars wasn’t an option. He still remembered how he was carried back and dealt with by Chi Yuheng after going to the bar last time.
Playing games was a bit unrealistic. He was at school, and Chi Yuheng was at the company; even with voice communication, given how busy Chi Yuheng usually was, it wouldn’t work.
The afternoon class was a pure theory class, boring and tedious. Ye Ran directly set his phone to silent and placed it under his book, then silently opened the Tomato Novel APP.
With his slender fingertips sliding across the screen, Ye Ran constantly searched the recommendation list to see if there were any books he could read and that would also interest Chi Yuheng.
However, the genres didn’t seem quite rightâthey were either supernatural, mystery, or ghost-hunting. He didn’t know why Tomato kept recommending such novels to him.
Just as he was about to give up on Tomato and switch to another platform, Ye Muqing sent a message.
[Ye Muqing]: Is today the first day of school, Xiao Ran?
[Ye Muqing]: My novel has been published on Tomato. It’s already grown “fat” now; you can take a look when you’re bored.
Ye Muqing’s message came very timely; Ye Ran was indeed incredibly bored right now.
[Itâs Ye Ran Not Ye Ash]: What’s the title?
[Ye Muqing]: “Indulgence”
A two-character title; just by the name, it seemed quite literary.
It was much better than that excavator one.
Ye Ran wanted to say Ye Muqing had made progress, but when he found his book on Tomato, he saw Ye Muqing’s pseudonym.
Excavator Driver in the Melon-Eating Crowd
Ye Ran: “…”
He had praised him too early.
Clicking into the book, it was actually a Danmei novel.
The protagonist “Gong” was named Fu Yuan, and the protagonist “Shou” was named… Ye Tingyun!
Ye Ran was completely kept there by this name.
A surge of laughter nearly broke through his throat. Ye Ran resisted again and again, and finally held back the urge to burst out laughing.
It was just a bit uncomfortable to hold it in. Did Ye Tingyun know his brother had written him as a “shou” in a novel?
In the original plot, the struggle between the two brothers had actually turned into this mode?
Later, Ye Ran substituted Ye Tingyun’s name while reading the novel.
The more he read, the more he felt out of character. Ye Tingyun was normally such a serious person, yet in the novel, he was simply a maniac.
Sickly and in a wheelchair, he actually raced against an electric scooter to pursue the “Gong.”
The result was goodâhe won.
However, joy turned to sorrow. In his effort to pursue the “Gong,” he used all his strength, and the wheelchair even sparked. He accidentally slipped and lost control, crashing into a utility pole.
The wheelchair rim was bent into a scoop.
Ye Ran nearly suffered internal injuries from holding in his laughter.
If Ye Tingyun saw this content, he would have to kick Ye Muqing’s butt into eight pieces.
The Ye Tingyun in the book was quite pure, and the preceding plot was both funny and addictive.
Ye Ran took screenshots of several interesting segments from the book and sent them to Chi Yuheng.
[Itâs Ye Ran Not Ye Ash]: Quick, look at this book! Iâm almost dying of laughter.
…
Chengyi Group Meeting Room.
Chi Yuheng’s phone chimed. Several high-level executives watched as Chi Yuheng glanced at the message, then after looking at something else, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Although a meeting was in progress, no one dared to interrupt or cut him off.
After all, it was rare to see President Chi, who possessed thunderous methods, smile like this at the company.
The meeting had reached its final stage; the decisions were made, and what followed was the free discussion of the executives.
Chi Yuheng now had time to scroll down. The curl of his lips never lowered. He also took a screenshot and sent it to Ye Ran.
[C]: You want me to read this?
Ye Ran clicked the picture Chi Yuheng sent him. Glancing over the content, his eyes slowly widened.
